Chapter 80: Grass and Human Life
Naturally, I was willing to help her, but if it hurt others, I would feel ashamed, so I said, "How about we put you in a place where no one is around, so that we can slowly find a way to treat you without harming others, so how about that?" ”
After all, it was a stranger, so she naturally didn't believe my words, frowned, and waved her hand again and again: "No! If you don't go, don't try to lie to me, just throw me to the mountain to fend for myself, or trick me to the mountain, and burn me with a fire, let me die without a body, I don't want it! ”
Then she screamed, and I could see that she was very frightened, but I saw that the small round bumps on her arms had spread to the back of her hands, and I could even see some small round bumps, which were constantly beating in them, as if they were about to burst out.
At this moment, Li'er fainted, I saw Uncle Xu behind her, and I knew that Uncle Xu knocked him unconscious, only to see Uncle Xu put him on the ground and whispered to me: "Qiu'er, this Liu Mansion is really unusual, I don't know how many secrets Liu Futong still hasn't told us." ”
There was a rustling sound in my ears, as if someone was coming over, Uncle Xu hurriedly said, it's too late, we are about to take some insects from her body, so that we can take them out and ask others what this thing is, and then take out a pocket from his arms, his hand is about to take down a worm from Li'er's body, but a figure has suddenly arrived in front of me, I haven't seen his figure clearly, Li'er's body has been moved.
"You two have a very bad mind, and you don't go to catch ghosts, but instead hook up with the people who are studying, so that my spirit boy can see it."
Listening to his voice was a little immature and a little cheap, I looked down and saw that it was a spirit boy, he couldn't help but put Pian Er on his shoulder, and was about to walk away with it, I stopped him: "Do you know that this subordinate named Pian Er also fell into the insect of the female ghost?" ”
The spirit boy's face was not the slightest abnormal, he still carried the body of the child, and walked out unhurriedly, leaving a sentence: "Lord Liu asked you to catch ghosts, you become ghosts, don't think about some side things, remember that Lord Liu's instructions are, catch ghosts!" ”
He deliberately emphasized the word "catching ghosts" again, could it be that they all know these things?
Becoming more and more confused, Uncle Xu and I hurriedly stopped the spirit boy and said, "You want to bring this pity back, what if the people of the Liu Mansion are infected with some insects again?" You know, these insects seem to be some kind of parasite, attached to people's bodies, and after a long time, they will cause a lot of human lives. ”
The spirit boy was not worried at all when he heard this, he smiled and said: "Since it is contaminated with this worm, it is just a dead end, you think I will be as stupid as you and talk nonsense with her for so long, it's really useless!" ”
Hearing what he meant, it seemed that he was going to put Li'er to death, which was too cruel, so Uncle Xu and I hurriedly stopped and said, "It's too hasty for you to do this, this is a human life!" ”
The spirit boy whistled at us, laughed, ignored us at all, and the pace under his feet also sped up a lot, I couldn't even keep up, but fortunately, Uncle Xu's mana was profound, and one hand kept pulling me, so he kept up with the spirit boy's footsteps.
At this time, Lingtongzi suddenly stopped, and threw the pity on his shoulder to the ground, and I realized that at some point, we had left Liu's Mansion and came to a mountain, and all around us were silent, only the crow of crows was heard, and there was not even a little star.
"Come here!" Lingtongzi didn't know who he was calling, and he raised his head and shouted to the sky.
We also followed his eyes to look around, but there was nothing, and we could only see vaguely, but I seemed to see a white skeleton not far away, I quietly tugged at Uncle Xu's clothes and pointed to him, Uncle Xu was stunned for a moment, he said: "It seems that this is a mass grave." ”
"Mass graves, you are too exalted of these subordinates, they are just cheap slaves, and their bodies are full of insects, where are they worthy of mass graves?" The spirit boy turned his head and said with a smile, "Originally, I didn't intend to tell you this, but it can be seen that you and I are both serving Lord Liu, so I'll tell you, most of the people in Liu's Mansion are buried here, whoever calls them cheap and provokes those insects will not survive, so it is better to come here and feed them to my little babies." ”
As soon as his words fell, a loud noise suddenly sounded in front of him, and then, countless things rushed down from the sky, just rushing to Li'er's body, I and Uncle Xu didn't have time to react, those things immediately scattered again, and the face in front of him had turned into a white bone, the process was too fast, and Li'er didn't even make a sound, and it was already a soul returning to the underworld.
But at this time, when those things flew into the sky, I realized that they were vultures, but such large vultures, I had never seen them, and they all seemed to be humanoids, flashing with two large wings, but the heads were like vultures.
The spirit boy smiled: "Why haven't you seen it?" ”
I withdrew my look of surprise and asked, "These are vultures, how did you raise them like this?" ”
The spirit boy seemed helpless, and smiled very proudly: "I can't help it, but these vultures eat people too much, so much so that they actually turn into human form, I think it won't be long before they will turn into human form with their heads." ”
At this moment, the spirit boy suddenly disappeared, but his voice still hovered in the air: "I advise you to be less nosy!" ”
I looked up and saw that a vulture had lifted this spirit boy into the sky, turned around, and flew towards Liu's mansion.
Uncle Xu's face was solemn, he took out a fire fold from this bosom, and immediately lit it, when he landed, there was a warm fire, which could illuminate this small piece of the world, I actually found that this place was full of white bones, and there was no grass, and the mountains were particularly desolate, but there was a sound on the ground, which seemed to be coming towards us, Uncle Xu threw the fire fold to the ground, but found that there were countless small insects on the ground, and they took the initiative to avoid it after seeing us.
By this time I could see them as much as a soybean grain, black all over, with two antennae on their heads, eight legs, and behind them a thin tail with a thorn that seemed to be used to pierce a human body.
However, there were no living creatures here, and I saw that the ground was full of the corpses of this little worm, and I was about to pick it up, but suddenly it turned into a wisp of black ash and slowly flew into the sky.
"It's too cold here, and at first glance it's caused by too many lives, and maybe we'll encounter ghosts, so let's go a little further." Uncle Xu said.
I followed her closely, and there was indeed a trace of fear, and the coolness around me continued to penetrate my body.
Surrounded by white bones that can be seen everywhere, there are big and small, different postures, but all of them look painful, I think this spirit boy has only been here for a few days, and the people before must have died as comfortable as Pian'er, although she didn't deserve to die, but the death was still comfortable, even this pain was not there, and went directly.
However, the corpses were not, they seemed to be in great pain, some of their arms and legs were separated, and some of the ground had turned into white ashes, and their bodies were curled up together, surrounded by black ash covered with burnt wood, presumably burned to death.
From this, I thought of the subordinate they said in the previous conversation, there are not a few subordinates who were executed in this way, I don't know if the corpses on this mountain are all from Liu's mansion, but if so, then there must be something else in Liu's mansion, only this time, the old lady Liu has died of the same disease, which attracted Liu Futong's attention, and he realized the seriousness of the problem, so he invited people from all walks of life.
No wonder Liu Mansion is such a big house, but there are very few people, and there is often no one from time to time, of course, this is just my guess, maybe Liu Futong only loves to be quiet, everything is possible before the matter is over.
I followed Uncle Liu step by step, and when I saw that I reached the top of the mountain, I realized that the hill was not high, and when I reached the top of the mountain, I saw a house, in this night, the house looked dark, and there was no light inside.
I'm a little strange, on such a hill full of dead people, there is still a home? Or was it once inhabited?
As we approached, the lights in the hut suddenly turned on, and the candles flickered in the shadows, and a figure was faintly seen, floating and looming in it, if it was said to be human, but it was more like an inhuman thing.
Uncle Xu is not afraid, he is a ghost, but he seems to be able to feel that I am a little afraid, he held my hand tightly, and called softly: "Qiu'er, don't be afraid, there is me." ”
At this time, I felt that Uncle Xu was really very reliable, and I stayed by his side honestly, and we walked to the hut step by step.
As I approached, I heard a violent laugh, and the sound was a little terrible, and when I went to the window, I poked a small hole with my hand, and along the small hole, I looked in, and found a woman dressed in red, sitting with her back to me, on a round stool.
And it was a constant laugh, I felt creepy, and I whispered: "Uncle, go to the opposite window to see if she is a ghost." ”
The old uncle walked straight over, in fact, I was a little afraid to see her face, thinking that the people on the mountain were all miserable, and the appearance must not be good-looking, and when Uncle Xu passed, and then came back immediately, I was a little puzzled by this, and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, what does she look like?" ”
But Uncle Xu shook his head, he said: "I didn't see anything, this woman really turned her back on the past, did she turn her head just now?" ”
How is this possible? I just kept staring at him, she kept her back to her body, and couldn't stop laughing, how could I be wrong?
